A H-to-MWSS is a Spartan (using an Eater 1 instead of the 7x9 eater) converter found by Tanner Jacobi in October 2015, which converts an input Herschel to a middleweight spaceship. The key discovery was a very small but slightly dirty H-to-MWSS conduit, where a Herschel is catalyzed to produce an MWSS but also leaves behind a beehive. Prefixing two R64 conduits to this produces a composite converter that successfully deletes the beehive in advance, using the input Herschel's first natural glider.

The repeat time is 157, but it can be reduced to even 72 using the variant below (or other variants, if not required to be spartan).

It consists of a syringe, Lx200, L112, L156, HLx141B, BRx46B, BFx59H, R64, Snark, Eater 1 and the hive-laying H-to-MWSS converter (with the hive deleted by the glider from the HLx141B which travels through the Snark and Eater 1).

The infobox pattern contains initial ghost Herschels marking the three Herschel (or Herschel great-grandparent) locations in the H-to-MWSS conduit. The pattern also includes a common way of reaching the input Herschel by prepending an Fx77, but that additional conduit is not a necessary part of the H-to-MWSS.

There are many other ways to remove the unwanted beehive using a spare glider or additional conduits, but they are generally less compact than this.
